Another longtime IP4 owner that's tired of waiting around for the IP5. Just preordered the Samsung Galaxy Note (which will receive the ICS update on March 1st), so I'll give an Android phone a chance to win me over before Apple's next release. Glad to hear that ICS is winning some people over, gives me hope it can do the same for me.

 

^^That thing is huge. Wonder how it will be to use as a phone (when on the go etc)?

Keep me updated please. I'm curious.

 

I'll definitely keep you updated once mine arrives & I've become accustomed to it. I too was skeptical at first about the Note just because of its sheer size, but after reading a lot of reviews regarding the Int'l version of the phone...I think it offers what I'm looking for. If you're interested in the Note at all, it's worth your time to watch PhoneDog's reviews on it. He starts out extremely skeptical and by the 11th day of his "30 day challenge" of using the Note as his personal phone, he's pretty impressed with it.

Seems better than I expected. Interesting phone indeed.

 

Agreed. And since your thread is really asking about the Galaxy Nexus, I can bring my suggestion back on topic with this comparison that may help you:

(that was the Int'l Note, which is lacking LTE-connectivity)

 

I've been meaning to try an android based phone for awhile. Problem is there are a billion of them. Which are the top ones right now?

 

Very Happey Galaxy Nexus user here. I'm using it on Verizon's 4gLte network and its great.

 

Now that ICS is available for the Galaxy S2, I would easily take this over the galaxy nexus:

Picked up a Nexus an hour ago. After 6 or 7 years on a BB (with 8mos on iPhone before I went back) it'll be quite a transition... Hope I can get speedy on it

 

Thanks for the feedback guys. I may be picking up the Nexus tomorrow. I am intrigued by the Note, but it just seems too massive. Thanks for the videos and comments though, bdeitemeyer.

The S2 seems nice, but the Nexus basically has everything the S2 has anyways, minus the 8mp camera. And I'm not about to have AT&T again lmao.

cstroked, hope you indeed get speedy with it. The learning curve always sucks for a bit. I looked at the phone today and really liked it over my current iPhone.

Thanks for the help guys!
